With Christmas around the corner, everyone has one thing on their mind: presents. But how does each family open theirs? There are so many different traditions Timpanogos students have when it comes to Christmas morning.
Most students see what suprises are left from Santa in their stocking first, and then open the other presents. Junior Joe Facer has a fun tradition in his family. They go on a scavenger hunt to find their stockings, which is a fun way to kick off the morning, right?. Seniors Jackie Peck and Alyssa Nilson both open the presents in their family youngest to oldest, one at a time. Jackie loves presents on Christmas because,"You never know what you're going to get!" Getting up extra-early is also common, but waiting for parents to get up can be torture.
Suprises are always nice, but sometimes suprises aren't very exciting. Alyssa said,"One Christmas I got muffin tins and a book I already had." Joe said,"One time I got measuring cups." Although some presents don't excite as much as an iPod would, it's the thought that counts.
Many families have some of the same and very different traditions, especially when it comes down to Christmas. Nothing says Christmas like a good present. Whatever your traditions are, a gift from the heart means the most.
